Ocean Estate, Tower Hamlets

The Mayor of Tower Hamlets, John Biggs donned his hard hat and protective clothing to see the latest stage of Tower Hamlets’ Ocean Estate redevelopment, which is making way for 225 much needed new homes.

This phase will see the demolition of three outdated and poorly designed blocks (Allonby, Channel and Studland Houses) to be replaced by 225 new homes.

More than half of the new homes (121 properties) will be available for affordable rent and shared ownership.

The council has already invested £8,650,000, alongside £3,895,000 from the Mayor of London.
